Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, % v3 R0 \# \, F' c7 y
' Y7 t5 Q5 `  [5 w; v
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
7 N- l6 o! W9 j6 j4 X! X+ [5 ]High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ' V; B& Y4 }# [, p. f0 y

* N, Y8 B$ e5 s( k. f" V2) Fish has omega-3 fatty acids, and are known to be beneficial to us in various ways. The problem is that our body does not make omega-3 fatty acids, and we need to consume it from fish.
3 |0 `, {; [* _0 ]) }
3 e$ H  U" Z8 m( V/ OMany research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs. It is currently being sold at supermarkets here. As a result, consumers can obtain it from a non-fish source. More new products with omega-3 fatty acids are expected in the near future.

However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. 4 x/ V3 @- [" l2 _* ^# p
